Red

I lost 70$ today.  I let Robot have my first two trades of the day.  He lost me 140$ dollars and then I was down 200$.  It was a strange day.  I went from down 200 to up 200 to down 200 to up 200 to down 70.  In the last half hour I ran four short trades in appl.  And every time I looked at my p&l it was not moving, I kept wondering how bad it would have been if I had not kept making those appl shorts.
I'm up against the wall.  If happens to me a lot.  I get to a point where I'm so close to meet a bigger goal and things get haywire.  The second time I was up 200 the first thing I started doing was changing stops to keep my 200 from disappearing.  before I was halfway through my list I was already in the red again.  Having a huge list of holdings just came up and bit me.  Now I'm down to about 9.

Robot:  13 winners, 10 losers, minus 403$.  What a stupid day to let him trade my money.  He had been on a winning streak lately.

Other stuff:  Wow, it's fricking cold in here.  My thermometers say it's 60 but that can't be right.  How could I get frostbite at 60 degrees?

Fantasy calls: huh what?
